To ,all whom t may concimi;

' Be it known that I, J osnrn Losnxx, a

v citizen Vofthe Unitedl States, residing at Cleveland,in the county of Cuyahoga and State f Ohio, have` invented certain new and-useful Improvements in Safes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improvement in safes, and the primary object is to Vprovide a safe in whichv a' deposit receptacle is arranged to be rotated to a predetermined position to' cover and uncover the door-'to the receptacle. yA further Objectis embodied in the means Vforelevating and lowering the deposit receptacle Within thewalls or main body of the safe so that the receptacle may Y be rotatedand also snugly seated and conlined. v

In the drawings accompanying this application, Figures'l, 2, 3 and 4 are perspec tive views, on a reduced scale showing varie ous positions assumed by the rotatable receptacle forming part of the safe. Fig. 5'is a vertical section of the safe on line 5 5, Fig. 9. Figs. 6 and 7 are horizontal cross sections on lines 6-6, and 7 7, respectively of Fig. 5. Fig. 8 is a central vertical section in a plane at right angles tothe plane of Fig. 5, showing the deposit receptacle partly turned and Fig. 9 is a similar viewshowing the receptacle turned to permit the door to be opened, as also shown in Fig. 3.

The safe comprises a base plate 2 having an upwardly extending cylinder 3 forming part thereof orV affixed thereto. The main walls or body 4 ofthe safe is rectangular and has a closed chamber 5 within its lower portion and its upper portion is open or divided to confine a square or rectangular deposit box or receptacle 6'for` sliding and rotatable movement therein. Thus, two of the side walls 7 are extended upwardly and provided with spaced ribs 8 upon their inner sides to guide and conne the vertical arm 9 of a yoke which is ailixed to or forms part ofva piston or plunger 10 operating in cylinder 3. The deposit receptacle 6 has trunnions 11 rotatably supported within ball bearings 12 at the upper ends of arms 9, and when pis# ton 10 and its yoke are at the limit of their down travel and the head of the plunger seated upon the upper end of cylinder 3 the receptacle 6 is fully seated within the upper end of the safebody with its exposed SAFE.

To do'so,'plunger-1O and the aparts carried' thereby must'irst bev elevated', and secondly, the receptacle must be rotated to place the door 14 where itwill be exposed and within reach tov be opened.

The means for raising the plunger 10 Vcomprises a piston-15 which is adaptedto .reciprocate within the hollowplunger'l() toqforce oil or any other suitable liquid Vcontained beneath the'piston :15V into the working space v 16 beneath the lower end of plunger 10.

The transfer of the oil is effected lthrough anv opening 17 in the bottom plate'vor head 18 of plunger 10 and a spring or flap valve 19 prevents the return flow of the oil from space 16 into the lower end of the plunger, y. c i except when piston15. is'purposely carried downwardly toV a point where a lpin 20 will pass through opening 417 and engage andv open valve 19. When this happens andthe plunger isin a raised position, the space 16 is filled with oil v'which then is expelled Vthrough Vopening 17 by the weight of the parts carried by plunger 10, assuming of.

course that the piston 15vv is free and not an eccentric 22 which is fixed to 'the inner end of the operating shaft or crank arm V23 having a telescopic handle 24 which 'is`.adapt. ed tobe withdrawn through a slot or opening 25 in one wall of main body 4 where it Y Y may be engaged by the hand of the operator whenever a raising or lowering movement of receptacle 6is required, and which is only necessary for aninterval to turn thereceptacle Vfrom one position to another. A hinged door 26with a suitable lock is pro` vided for opening 25 to prevent .the operation of the lever v23, and obviously to close the door it is necessary to slide the telescopic handle into chamber 5. c

I also mount a bell 27V vwithin chambery and the hammer 28 of this bell is adapted to be actuatedvrby ay trip 29 and afwire `or cord y' 30 which connects with shaft 23, whenever lever 24 is pressed downwardly. The door 14 and receptacle 6 are preferably provided with a suitable lock 8l, either'combination or key, or both.

To make the receptacle 6 fire-prooil I may Y also provide it with fire-proof material 32,

' and to make the working parts accessible I may construct the mainV body t and thebase plate 2 in separate pieces and bolt them together from the inside substantially lask shown. Y Y

l/Vhat Iclaim is: l Y Y l. A safecomprising ai main body having a receptacletiltable about a. horizontal axis,

` means for vertically shifting said receptacle in diierent positions therein, said receptacle having a door, said door being covered or uncovered upon shifting and tilting said plunger within said cylinder, a piston within said plunger, means adapted to operate said piston, and a deposit receptacle slid.

ably carried by said plunger and mounted to tilt4 about 'a horizontal axis within the walls of said safe. f

4. A'safe, comprising a base having an upright cylinder, a plunger within cylceptacle being rotatably mounted upon said yoke within said body.

v5. A safe comprising rectangular walls, two of said walls'having upward extensions, a deposit box, a yoke slidably and rotatably supporting said box between said extensions, a power device for'raisingV and lowering said boX ybetween said extensions, said yoke connectedto said power device. Y
